Is Personal Finance considered Social Studies?

We are NC residents as well and affected by this. D24 ended up taking a Personal Finance class during the summer after her junior year as a free online class through the state/school system. It did not impact her summer activities since it was online and asynchronous (though it was a little dicey from a time management perspective from time to time). It also freed up a slot for her as she was mostly taking college classes senior year and it was difficult to align her college schedule with M-F high school classes.

That might be an option if they want to another “true” social science senior year without having to impact electives.

If the college’s website or CDS says required, I would tend to err on the side of caution and just have them take another social science. There are 9APs in the social science/history area, and so many additional choices if they can take a DE class.
